Experiments with single electrons in liquid helium
We have developed an apparatus which can be used to make movies showing the motion of individual electrons in liquid helium. A sound wave is used to explode an electron bubble for a fraction of a microsecond and to make it grow to have a radius of around 10 microns. While the bubble has this large size it is illuminated with a flash lamp and its position recorded. We report on a number of inter...
متن کاملObservations of the Motion of Single Electrons in Liquid Helium
We have developed an apparatus which can be used to monitor the motion of individual electrons in liquid helium. A sound wave is used to explode an electron bubble for a fraction of a microsecond. While the bubble is expanded, it is illuminated by light from a flash lamp. We describe the details of the experiment and show results obtained. In some cases, an electron is seen to follow a snakelik...
متن کاملCosmological experiments in liquid helium
Fast passage through a continuous phase transition is expected to result in the creation of topical defects via the Kibble mechanism. Recent experiments involving the expansion of a small volume of liquid He through the lambda (superfluid) transition, as a model of the GUT (grand unified theory) symmetrybreaking transition of the early universe, are discussed and set in context. Copious creatio...

متن کاملQuantum computing with electrons floating on liquid helium
A quasi-two-dimensional set of electrons (1 < N < 10(9)) in vacuum, trapped in one-dimensional hydrogenic levels above a micrometer-thick film of liquid helium, is proposed as an easily manipulated strongly interacting set of quantum bits. Individual electrons are laterally confined by micrometer-sized metal pads below the helium. Information is stored in the lowest hydrogenic levels. With elec...
